Pass It On is a beautiful picture book of some of BlackAmerica's best poems for children. Here the reader will find examplesof the wonderful works of Langston Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, Countee Cullen, and about thirteen others. From the Harlem Rennaisance to the present day lovely thought-provoking poems are presented to the American child. The illustrations are muted but descriptive renderings that are melded together to present a picture of black life at its best.

I purchased this book 5 years ago for my son and a friend's daughter, and I was so excited to read it, my son in 1st grade wrote about the poem I can and it won him a blue ribbon and right now he still has the writing for that poem eventhough he has the book in the bookshelf, when they say "Pass it On" it really mean that, now he can pass it on to his children later in life. Everyone that has borrowed the book and read to their kids have enjoyed it.

I highly recommend the book to children of all age, it's also a book of life experience.

Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts.

Note that this book was published in the UK under the name "Rivals." I loved it. It was as much fun as "Riders" and Rupert Campbell Black the businessman was more attractive than ever.

Players continues on where Riders left off. Rupert Cambell Black is back and is trying to buy a t.v. station. Fun to read to find out what happened to that group after Riders. Does not have Fen, Jake. or Tory in it. Even if you just read Riders for the horses, you will probably like Players.

I recommend this book for advanced as well as beginner potters.
This book is crammed with useful techniques as well as good,
illustrative photos.

The solutions cover a good spread of problems - but do not cover the basics. I still recommend it as a supplement for beginner potters, as a lot of common problems are explained well here.

For advanced potters, some techniques in this book may be redundant, but there are a lot that should provide some new directions. For example, covered in this book is how to make a good teapot that can pour well - always a good topic to review;
However topics such as: How can i Make More dynammic work - offers some new directions. Or, How can i translate my drawn designs into clay?

The largest sections are handbuilding and throwing, but there are some good sections on decorating. The kiln and firing section was a bit weak - as this is a complicated topic.

I have many pottery books, but find this refreshingly well done.
I do not have to comprise on good subject matter vs good photographs. It's a great book....

I recomend this book to anyone who does or is interested in pottery. This book has every question to do with pottery and their solution. Every page is filled with color photos and great ideas. I have learned so many things from this book and yet every time I open it I learn something new and useful. It shows how to glaze and decorate your peices in so many different techniques and ways. This book is a great gift for any potter, and a book you are sure to use a life time.

If you think psychoanalysis is dead... boy, are you wrong! Cooper and his collegues explain to us how this is still the most profound and clear path to the human mind. A must for anyone who has a mind that is not analysed. Those who have been analysed might also find this book mesmerizing!

Dr. Cooper continues to amaze us with this most thorough journey of contemporary analytic thinking. He shares his view on how psychoanalysis has evolved and the influence that has had on civilization. He gives an opinion that could only be conceived by one of the most influential clinical minds of this century.

Very simple and helpful for beginners and those with more PC knowledge. Covers many, many subjects in easy-to-use, easy-to-read format.

This book is another success for Cox and Dudley. If you have Word 6 then you won't need this, but if you are learning Word 7 then this is the way to go. Simple and easy exercises to follow. Useful tips and shortcuts to performing tasks. Easy reading and it does not take a month to digest. As a I am a computer instructor this is one of the best sellers

This is a perfect book for someone to keep as a desk reference for the personality types. I found the information very valuable even though I own most other books on this subject. It is an outstanding reference for the types in an organizational setting.

I found this booklet to be of extreme value compared to similar products. I used to buy a whole text to give to my clients before this came along. It contains some of the best material I have seen on the Myers-Briggs types. The fact that it has so many great contributors is a value-add. I would recommend this booklet to anyone using Myers-Briggs types in a professional setting. The booklet covers multiple topics including leadership, career development, creativity, stress, problem-solving, personal development, and learning. At first I was overwhelmed with the page count for the types, but after reading the content I was pleasantly excited and couldn't wait to show them to my customers. The book also includes some interesting new information about a new model---MTR-i---which is a team role model based on Jungian type. A very good value for the low price.

More addictive than espresso...

A novel you won't put down until the final page, and one that you will surely pick up again and again.

The writing, the language, the often sarcastic and witty interactions amongst characters makes this novel one of the best I have read in years. It will keep you coming back for more.

This is a novel you can't read just once. I finished "The Real Alice Cooper Wants To Be Famous" on a Monday night and the next night started in on page one again. It's addictive like that.

The second time around, you can open it up anywhere and just start reading. It's so engrossing, and the language is so flowing that, right away, you'll be caught up in the story again. You might be reading about flaky "Alice" herself . . . or the straightlaced Brother Gilroy . . . or the hugely-endowed Benjamin P. Cooper, CPA . . . or poor, tubby old Dottie Rosenthal . . . or wistful little Cathy Moriarity . . . or one of the two coolest monks you've ever met, Brother Zachary and Brother Brother . . . or a group of local townies who are unintentional comedians . . . or even a pair of Dobermans who smile and never bark. Whichever character you chance upon, it's like meeting an old friend -- and hearing them talk to you in their own distinctive voices.

"The Real Alice Cooper" is a genuine trip because it pulls you in and it doesn't let you go. You get wrapped up in all the people who pop in and out of the book and you find yourself enthralled. Just as amazing, the novel doesn't insult your intelligence. The action is always logical and plausible. The same with the characters: Even when two women take up with the same lunatic man, one after the other, it's somehow so inevitable that you know this is why they say life imitates art.

It's a terrific book and a great experience. After you read it, you'll feel a little more alive and a lot more appreciative of what you have.

Dr. Cooper's pithy, insightful comments on modern American life left me laughing, wistful and wishing I had the ability to articulate these insights as he did. His book is provocative, incisive and witty. Makes a great gift for cerebral friends.

This is one man's views of his fellow men and women -- their politics and religions, their values, principles, and foibles, their family and social relationships. There's hardly anything in the human condition that has not earned his pithy, impressivley articulated comment. The author is a physician -- obviously intelligent, highly literate, widely informed, and STRONGLY OPINIONATED, though admittedly incapable of ironing a shirt or sewing on a button! If Dr. Cooper goes on a book tour, be sure to go meet him!

Read this to the five-year-old twice already, and expect to r3ead it lots more. The ten year old was delighted: she joined us and reread the book when we were done.

Recommended. You got to love those cows.

Those loveable Santa Cows take their human friends on a magic carpet ride to the islands! Tropical fun to keep the holiday spirit alive. You'll love the whole Santa Cow Series!
